Hello Sunshine is an impressive step up from the usual post-apocalypse survival RPG formula, playing with some clever ideas around scorching sunlight, blissful shade, and the cycle of day and night.

I'm at a holiday party for a networking group, and the Secret Santa theme is for was to give someone a gift that they would have liked as a child, make a small speech, and the group guesses the intended recipient.

All the gifts are being donated to the Children's Hospital.

Great fun! Great cause!

The Underworld CCG from Ludia was a team where almost everyone gelled. We turned out the full game in 9 months and had a great time creating new tech and 300ish animated cards.

Colleagues still talk about the team vibe, and I'm still chasing that high, tbh.

And looking for an excuse to remake it!
What’s the most fun game you ever worked on? I don’t mean the game itself being fun but the team/people you were with. My most fun one was GRiD with Codemasters, I really loved the environment art team, we had so many laughs during that project even though the overtime was very high. #gamedev

The ending of the first film was very nearly perfect (they botched the timing a little bit... no spoilers), so I'm torn about the need for a sequel with John Wick-style backstory escalation...

The true Gen X reaction to being lauded as the "greatest generation" would be to narrow its eyes suspiciously and mutter "whatever" when asked about it

A rather quiet demon versed in politics and diplomacy, she represent one of the parties in a dispute between 2 infernal lords. Carrying with pride her familly trait of a set of crown horns which are considered very regal among demons.

Kresnilla Redmoss
Mostly known as "Mama", Kresnilla built herself quite a reputation over the last 60 years as a merchant with a sharp eye for finding the perfect weapon for her clients. She lost her eye in her youth and trained herself to never be careless so again.

One of the few d20 conversions that I think didn't do damage to the original brand: Call of Cthulhu d20. Great author (John Tynes!) , solid publication (by WotC!), and perhaps more importantly: always intended as a one-and-done, so it didn't crash in 2003 and take the original with it.

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.
It didn’t even take 6 hours.

I get to spend all day before the party considering the questions: "Bowtie or Necktie?" and "Black Mask or Blue?"

Jesus Christ, have none of these people read science fiction? If you have compelling evidence that ChatGPT is a *person*, the ethical thing to do is to call for banning its use immediately and making sure that you aren’t enslaving a conscious being.
can’t fucking catch a breath
